That's what he's pointing out, or that's how I took it. Dax's speed and athleticism allowed him to get out there to defend the pass, had he recognized earlier, that same speed and athleticism may have allowed him to jump the route and potentially get a pick 6. I personally think these two will wind up better than the duo they're replacing. It's great to get them reps as a tandem going forward this year.

I am not worried longer term and also believe that than can end up being better or at least equal once they become Veterans.

Wish there was a way to see how Bates and Bell would have performed as rookie/2nd year players with this same 2023 Bengal Team.

Need a Crazy Scientist and a DeLorean to find out. 

They would probably have recognition issues as well. 

Dax & Battle should be much better going into 2024.
